The Karabakh War refers to a series of armed conflicts between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Karabakh region and surrounding territories. The initial large-scale conflict took place from 1988 to 1994, resulting in a ceasefire but leaving the status of the region unresolved and leading to significant displacement and casualties. This conflict has deep historical roots, stemming from ethnic and territorial disputes that intensified during the collapse of the Soviet Union. The unresolved nature of the conflict led to periodic escalations, with international efforts for a peaceful resolution largely proving unsuccessful for decades.
A major resurgence of hostilities, often referred to as the Second Karabakh War, occurred in the autumn of 2020. This conflict, lasting for 44 days, resulted in significant territorial changes and a new ceasefire agreement brokered by Russia. The war had profound implications for the South Caucasus, reshaping regional power dynamics and affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. It also brought renewed international attention to the complexities of the conflict. The Jewish community in Azerbaijan, as an integral part of Azerbaijani society, has experienced the effects of this conflict.
